Stablecoin swap protocol across blockchains and Layer 2s
We built Meson as a protocol to swap stablecoins across multiple blockchains and Layer 2 rollups with zero slippage and low fees. Instead of relying on centralized exchanges or bridges that are slow and risky, our system securely routes swaps directly between chains, making cross-chain stablecoin trades faster and safer for users who want to move funds without price loss or long waits.
We are distributed between Singapore, San Francisco, and remote locations. After YC, we plan to base around San Francisco while keeping a global, remote-friendly team.
Our team is already distributed with core members in Singapore and San Francisco. We picked these locations for the local crypto ecosystems and engineering talent. Post-YC, being closer to Silicon Valley investors and partners in San Francisco will help us scale faster while keeping remote flexibility.
